McClelland Tins - Suggestions?
So I've mentioned this in other posts but I work near an old, very run down tobacconist where I really don't think they get anything new anymore, save for their bulk blends (even that is suspect). Seems they have a load of old McClelland tins, which I guessing some sales rep unloaded on them...- sjolie

Tobacco Amounts & Duration
My general question is this, when smoking a pipe does it always require a full bowl? I feel I've broken in my briar well by using 1/3 - 1/2 bowls over several weeks, and now in the last couple weeks I've been enjoying nice full bowls on my back porch. An arctic air mass has descended on the...- sjolie

New Pipe Question
So I'm planning to double my pipe collection today...and buy my 2nd pipe. I've been smoking from the same Hardcastle Royal Bruyere each evening. I think it makes sense to add another to the rotation and am wondering if anyone has thoughts or suggestions. I'm leaning toward a corncob to keep it...
